As far as conveyancing in Kensington is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property so an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Kensington I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kensington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
